Euston Skip Hire Modern Slavery Statement

Euston Skip Hire declares a firm zero-tolerance policy in relation to slavery, forced labour and human trafficking. This Modern Slavery Statement sets out our commitment to preventing modern slavery across our operations and supply chain. We publish this statement as part of our ongoing effort to make our modern slavery policy transparent and actionable, and to show that the protection of human rights is at the core of our business.

We recognise that the waste management and skip hire sector can be vulnerable to labour exploitation and illegal practices. Euston Skip Hire operates under a clear code of conduct and expects suppliers, sub-contractors and partners to meet the high standards we set. Our slavery and human trafficking statement outlines responsibilities at every level of the organisation, and our leaders provide visible support to the anti-slavery stance taken by the company.

Scope and approach: this modern slavery policy covers all company-owned operations and our procurement practices. We assess risk factors such as recruitment practices, agency labour use and supply chain complexity. Euston Skip Hire's anti-slavery statement requires that all new suppliers complete due diligence checks and agree to contractual anti-slavery clauses before engagement.

Due Diligence and Supplier Audits

We employ targeted supplier audits and ongoing monitoring to identify and mitigate risks. Our supplier assessment program includes:

• document checks on identity and payroll procedures;
• site visits where necessary to review working conditions and health and safety;
• periodic re-assessment and evidence requests for high-risk suppliers.

Euston Skip Hire conducts audits proportionate to risk and size. When potential issues are identified, we take immediate corrective action, which may include remediation plans, additional training, or termination of contracts for persistent non-compliance. These supplier audits are central to our modern slavery compliance and form part of our broader supplier management framework.

Our procurement teams receive regular training on ethical sourcing and the signs of forced labour. We maintain a record of supplier audit results and track corrective actions to closure. Where appropriate, we work collaboratively with suppliers to improve standards, using a combination of support and enforcement to ensure compliance with our anti-slavery policy.

Reporting Channels, Remedies and Annual Review

Euston Skip Hire maintains clear reporting channels for concerns about modern slavery. Employees and third parties are encouraged to raise concerns through designated internal channels; reports are treated seriously and investigated promptly. We ensure reports are handled confidentially, and we protect whistleblowers from retaliation. Our reporting channels are part of the company's broader ethics and compliance framework and are accessible to staff at all levels.

In cases where exploitation is discovered, we pursue appropriate remedies. This may include cooperating with law enforcement, supporting victims, enforcing contractual remedies, and terminating relationships with culpable suppliers. We take a survivor-focused approach when incidents involve vulnerable individuals, prioritising safety and remediation.

Continuous improvement: Euston Skip Hire reviews this slavery and human trafficking statement at least once a year to ensure it remains effective and aligned with legal requirements and best practice. The annual review evaluates audit outcomes, training completion rates, reported concerns and remediation actions, and sets targets for the coming year. The review process is led by senior management and informs board-level oversight.

Commitment and culture: we embed anti-slavery expectations in staff inductions, supplier onboarding and contractual terms. Our zero-tolerance approach is reinforced by mandatory training, regular communication, and clear leadership accountability. We believe that preventing modern slavery requires both strong controls and a company culture that empowers people to speak up.

Through robust supplier audits, open reporting channels and an annual review cycle, Euston Skip Hire aims to continually strengthen its response to modern slavery risks. This modern slavery statement is a living document and part of our long-term commitment to ethical business practices and the protection of human rights.

Signed on behalf of Euston Skip Hire: this statement reflects the steps taken during the reporting period and outlines our ongoing actions to combat modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking across our operations and supply chain.
